Application filed January 19, 1926. Serial No. 82,201.

with sliding sashes, the. frame utilizing a" minimum amount of lumberand giving a alanced sash.

The sashes are balanced by having an in ner and an outer sash connected together by fieible chains or the like, whereby bot-l sashes operate in unison when one is raised the other being lowered.

A further object of my invention is forming a window frame with a screen on the outside thereof, the screen being detachable Y and allowing ready removal of the outer sash, the screen also being adapted to form stops or guides for the outer sliding sash.

Another object of my invention is to con struct a screen havinga metal covering, the metal forming a holding connection between the screen and the window frame.

lVith my type of window frame having a balancing sash with a screen forming a stop for the sash the building construction whether of brick, wood or plaster may be constructed up close to-the stile of the frame.

Another feature of my invention is the double pulleys used for balancing the sashes; these being constructed with a sheet metal frame or casing and pulley wheels mounted therein, the frame being supported in addition to wood screws passing through the pulleys by the central bead ofthe sash.

My invention will be more readily understood from the following description and drawings, in which;

Fig. 7 is a cross-section of the pulleys on the line 7-7 of Fig. 6. i

Fig. 8 is a detail showing the form of hook for attaching the. chain to a sash.

Fig. 9 is a further detail of the typeof lLOOlE'iiZllZF/Il at right angles to Fig. 8. The window frame is constructed substantially as follows, having reference particularly to Figs, 1 to 4: i

A sill 1 extends across the bottom of the frame, preferably being inclined at'an angle sligl'itly downward and' outwardly to give a rain drip. I Y

Single boards 2 forniingst-iles extend voutwardly from the sill and arejoined by a cap rail 3, this being formed of a single board. The sill extends outwardly beyond the outer. edge of the stiles as indicated by the numeral t and has an outward projection 5 on its outer end on the wallportion; this being adapted to' extend beyond the wall line of the building.

Inside stops 6 are attached to the stiles and similar stops 7 and 8 to the sill and cap rail respectively. A center head 9' is fitted preferably in a rabbet 10 on the top rail and on the stiles. This forms a separa ting guide for the innerand outer sasl'ies.

The sashes themselves are of substantially the ordinary construction, the inner sash being designated by the numeral 11 sliding between the stops 6, 7 and 8 and the center heads 9. The outer sash l2is slidableon the outside of the center beads. U The sashes are balanced by: means of a sash chain 13 which passes over the double pulley assembly 1% se= cured to the top of each stile thereby balancing the sash. r l I The screen is constructed as follows, be.- ing illustrated particularly in F 2, 3 and 4, being designated generally bythe numoral l5 The screen is formed with a lower rail 16,

an upper rail 17 and side bars 18 connecting The strip 2l is formed angular having 23 covering part of the slde a return bend of the side bars and having a flange 24 covering part of the front edge of the frame stiles 2. A wire screen is secured directly of the metal strip Figs. 6 and 7 having a loop lO therein and bent hooked ends ll,

frame of the wire screen,

on the lace. oi the screen framing and is heldiin place by nails, screws or the like driven through the sheet metal strips on the A sheet metal frame the pulleys and has a flat face 29, edge walls 30, backwardly bent sections 31 and torwa-rdly bent ends 32; these ends engaging the face plate 29. The housing so formed is open at the top 33and at the bottom 84. A; pair of pulleys 35 are secured in the pulley frame by means of wood screws 36 inserted through openings in the sheet metal of the frame and through the axial center of the pulleys. These screws form the journals for rotation of the pulleys. The upper ends of the lnturned edges 32 have a cutout section 87 allowing the sash chain 38 to pass freely up one side otthe frame and across the top and: down the other side.

It will be noted that in the assembly or" the sash 1 1n the window frame the center bead 9 engages the frame or housing and the center bead 10 en a es the face 29 of the nillev housin this construction being illustrated in Figs.

1 and 4. Therefore, although "the pulley very light material housing is constructed of and supported by comparatively 7 small screws, it is so secured in place-by the stops that a heavy weight may i from, thereby allowing heavy balanced sash. V

I utilize a hook 89 on the end 01 the sash chain, this hook'being formed by a wire these latter being curled around a wood screw or the like.

From the above description of the window' frame and sash it will. be seen that there is no outside head or stop guiding the outer sliding sash, this being done by the thereby etlecting a saving in'inaterial and (low to be of less thickness from the out side to the inside of the building The removable screen also allows the changed to suit.
